Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Pimagedine, also known as aminoguanidine, MDL-201228; YM-585; GER-11, is an AGE Inhibitor potentially for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy and diabetic retinopathy. Pimagedine is also a diamine oxidase and nitric oxide synthase inhibitor. It acts to reduce levels of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) through interacting with 3-deoxyglucosone.

Product Data
Biological target:
Aminoguanidine hydrochloride is a diamine oxidase and NO synthase inhibitor.
In vitro activity:
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of AG (aminoguanidine) on the expression of iNOS and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and the activity of the NF-κB signaling pathway in rat chondrocytes stimulated by interleukin-1β (IL-1β). The viability of chondrocytes treated with AG (0.3, 1 or 3 mM) alone was determined using a Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. Subsequently, the chondrocytes were treated with either 10 ng/ml IL-1β alone, or co-treated with increasing concentrations of AG (0.3, 1 or 3 mM) and 10 ng/ml IL-1β. The results suggested that the inhibitory effect of AG on the protein and gene expression levels of iNOS and COX-2 in IL-1β-treated chondrocytes was dose-dependent. In addition, AG decreased the level of phosphorylation of IKKβ, IκBα and NF-κB p65, the degradation of IKKβ, IκBα and p65, and the translocation of NF-κB in IL-1β-stimulated chondrocytes.

In vivo activity:
The aim of this study was to assess the effect inhibiting diamine oxidase (DAO) activity on intestinal adaptation after 80% proximal small bowel resection in the rat. Aminoguanidine (AG), a DAO inhibitor, was administered subcutaneously (25 mg kg-1 day-1) to rats for 11 days after small bowel transection (n = 6) or resection (n = 6). AG treatment completely inhibited DAO activity in both the transection control and resected rats. In the AG-treated resection group, inhibition of DAO activity was accompanied by increases (p less than 0.005) in all three indices of mucosal mass (wet weight, protein and DNA per centimetre intestine), putrescine concentrations (p less than 0.05) and ODC activity per centimetre intestine (p less than 0.001) when compared with the saline-treated resection controls. The results of this study suggest that inhibition of the putrescine-degrading enzyme, DAO, enhances the adaptive response to intestinal resection.
